Rescheduled due to weather.

I am looking at running a weekend trip to Newnes next weekend.

The trip will include a couple of tracks on the Saturday, then will make our way to the camp site.

We will take a run down to the glow worm tunnels. Check out some of the power line tracks. Then head down to Newnes campsite for the night.

On Sunday morning we will look at exploring a bit the forest a bit further with a few more tracks.

The meeting place will be the Car Park of the Zigzag Railway where we will air down and make our way in to the forest.

If people would like to do a Day trip let me know.
